Why is this really long branch turning orange? Is it getting too much light? Not enough light?

I think it needs a fresh haircut and propagate the bottom pieces add a fertilizer to your next watering

the redness means to much light i think.

i agree though you can cut the super long stem at the top and chop it up with at least one or two nodes per propagation and propagate in moist moss. the one with leaves is fine to prop in regular water.

and yes fertilize!
